Momentum eludes Marine Le Pen

History, it seems, repeats all of its repeats under the weird two-stage French voting system. Marine Le Pen’s National Rally has again fallen short in an important election, this time the regionals.

French far-Right loses two key regional votes, dealing blow to Marine le Pen’s presidential ambitions
Centre-Right candidates have retained their seats in all regions

The candidates of Marine Le Pen’s far-Right party have failed to win over any regions in the final round of France’s regional elections on Sunday, as mainstream conservatives delivered a blow to her presidential ambitions.

In the highly-contested battleground of Provence, the poll was seen as a major test of whether the far-Right leader can win votes ahead of an election next year expected to pit her against President Emmanuel Macron.

Thierry Mariani, a former conservative minister, hoped to be the first elected regional leader in France to hail from Ms Le Pen’s National Rally (RN).

But two exit polls showed Mr Mariani winning around 45 per cent of the vote in the southwestern region, while the conservative incumbent, Renaud Muselier, grabbed roughly 55 per cent.

Turnout in both rounds, it should be said, was miserably low. Only around a third of the registered voters bothered to exercise their rights. But it now seems unlikely that enough stay-at-home supporters will come out for her at the presidential elections between 8 and 23 April next year. The centre-right UMP is on the up, and will fancy its chances of dumping Le Pen out in the first round.

All you need to know about Eric Zemmour from a source that can talk about certain things the rest are afraid to mention.

My opinion is based solely on the article, but it sounds to me like what a lot of the Jews in France are most afraid of is that Eric Zemmour’s message has the real potential of undermining their victimhood status. Of course Jew’s victim status is at the core of their propagandistic influence and power. Zemmour not only threatens Jewish power, he’s a threat to all the rest of France’s corrupt ruling elites. Moreover, his ideas have the potential to upend the anti ethnic-nationalist agenda of the entire EU.

@3 Either that or he will lead people astray. Either Jewish victimhood or Black victimhood seems to be the choice. Hopefully, the day will will arise when the realization occurs that we are all the victims of history for good or ill.

“Either that or he will lead people astray.”

I’m assuming Zemmour is not abandoning what’s best for Jewish interests. What I mean by that is he knows if Jews are to have a future in France, Islam must be stopped in its tracks and reversed. There will come a point when Muslims reach critical mass and at that point life in France for Jews will have become untenable. So from Zemmour’s POV it’s both in the native French and the Jews’ best interest to adopt his vision. But at the end of the day the power and money will win out - it invariably does. In that likely event, Zemmour will fade into irrelevancy and someone in the same vein as Macron or Sarkozy will be selected/installed by TPTB. The globalists’ destruction will continue apace.

“We are all victims of history for good or ill “.

That’s the spirit.
